Do you feel all devices have enough USB slots?


I don't, specially with everything having a USB connection these days. I don't think you can get a keyboard or mouse with their prong ends anymore.
 
I think if you are a regular PC user who just owns a printer, keyboard, mouse, USB flash drive, and USB hard drive then most newer full size desktop PCs would have enough ports, but Laptop, Netbooks, Tablets, and other portable computers will not have enough ports.

A lot of devices are also combined into one like these days printers and scanners are combined into 1 device, and only use one USB cable. I think there are some wireless keyboard and mouse which only uses one USB wireless adapter to connect with the PC.
 
My Tablet does not even have USB ports which can connect a keyboard, mouse, flash drive and other USB devices. It can only connect to my computer to run in disk mode to copy and paste files to and from my Tablet to my PC.

But, it is a cheaper tablet, so I don't really mind since I did not pay much for it, and it has a MicroSD card reader slot which can accept a MicroSD card up to 32GB.

Hopefully my next Tablet will have full size USB port for plugging in a Keyboard, mouse, USB Flash drive, and other USB devices without an adapter.

I think USB and USB devices will be the next big thing for tablets since Tablets have fewer features then a desktop, and laptop, but USB can do a lot of useful things like connect more storage, a printer, speakers, and charge smaller devices like cell phones.
 
My USB plug on my Tablet is shaped weirdly, and does not use Mini-USB ports. It's plug looks like a blocky thin D shape like some cell phone chargers.

I use the Kobo Vox eReader Tablet which runs on Google Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

I agree, I could of got a better tablet if I shop online but I live in Canada where the in-store selection is not very good compared to the US with the Amazon Kindle Fire, Barnes and Noble Nook Tablet, and I didn't want to go online to buy a tablet since it is harder to exchange stuff if it breaks. I also bought my Tablet in early 2012. The selection is not as good at the beggining of the year as today for 199.99 with the Google Nexus 7 inch tablet. I think the Google Nexus 7 is the only fast tablet at under 200 dollars for the 8GB version in Canada.

I also got in on sale for 179.99, so I saved 20 dollars.
